Bauchi—Bauchi State Government  has vowed   to flush out  ghost workers from the state civil service and put in place strategies at providing quality service and prudence.

State Head of Service, HoS, Mr. Abdon Dalla Gin, spoke while declaring open a five-day capacity building training on Human Resources Management for civil servants organised by the Public Sector Governance Reform and Development Project in collaboration with Administrative Staff College of Nigeria, ASCON.
According to him, the administration was determined to ensure that only genuine civil servants were in its payroll through proper documentation.

He said: ”The state government was able to surmount the ghost workers syndrome in the state through the provision of Data Bank for all civil servants in the state including pensioners. This training is aimed at equipping the officers with requisite knowledge that will not only enhance their skills but also assist them in ensuring effective delivery service and it will also expose them to information technology system. The state is considering the international reforms currently going on globally hence there is the need for such training for its workers to ensure transparency and accountability in the service.”
